With the popularization of social media and influencer culture, many individuals of the younger generation want to become full-time content creators, often ignoring traditional education and technical skills for careers. This shift is often caused by content creators’ high income while indulging in activities that they love. To ensure an even job distribution in the future, parents, schools, and governments should educate young people about the negative side of influencer life, and promote other careers that they aspire.
The main reasons why people tend to be content creators are the high salaries they get while following their hobbies. The younger generation tend to compare the job satisfaction and income of content creators with other careers. Sometimes, the jobs that young people intend to pursue in pay less compared to the content creators they watch on social media. In addition to the high income, some influencers conduct their endeavors with joy and ease, making children and teens think that becoming an influencer is the ideal job for them
There are a number of policies society can take to distribute careers evenly in the future. One main action is educating children about the dangers of influencer life. While content creators show off their success in social media, people dont know their struggles and problems behind the screens. By informing this, teens and children will be cautious of the uncertain influencer life and seek out other jobs.
To conclude, the shift in careers are caused by the huge pay and work enjoyment of being a content creator, and the community should inform the younger generation about the unstable life of influencers to evenly distribute careers in the future
